AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
Can LaDorIng Men AFFORD to spend Thel,


Can LaborIng Men Afford to Spend TheII
Money for Beer and Other Liquors:
Personal liberty is a strong argu-
ment, with many; as reason for being
opposed to any restraint being placed
upon certain lines of business. Too
many get an idea that if they vote OF
work to restrain certain lines of bust"
ness that there is danger of encroach-
ing upon the personal liberties of some
one. Now, it is not proposed to write
Temperance lecture; but there is one
point that too many laboring men
overlook, and that is, whether or not
they can afford to allow certain kinds
of business among them 1t is well
enough to say they can go in and buy
a glass of beer or other liquor and then
walk out and attend to their business.
The question asked is, can you afford
itP Leaving out the question of per-
sonal liberty, of the right to do as you
please, and admitting that it is within
your power to do as you please, either
to purchase or to let alone as may suit
you best.
There is no doubt but that much of
the money spent by laboring men for
liquors is needed worse at home. You
may have as much right to spend your
money as you please, but at the same
time can you afford it? Does not your
wife and children, may be your father
and mother, need the money for other
things that are far more necessarily
And when this is the case are you
really not spending money that you
can not afford to? This ought TO seem
an important point to every working
man, and if the laboring men of the
country, instead of being prejudiced
by such restricting of their liberties or
attempting to keep them from doing
as they please, would only stop and
figure up fairly and candidly how
much in justice to themselves and fam
lilies they can afford to spend in their
way, and then have will enough to
never spend more than they could af-
ford, long step would be made in
promoting their own welfare. What
ever a man spends for personal indul-
gence of any one appetite more than
he can afford he is not being just to
himself and family He is selfish be-
cause in order to satisfy his own appe-
tite, whether it be because he can not
control his appetite, or whether it is
to show himself to be able to do as he
pleases, he is certainly selfish if he
spends more than he can afford. He
may have an equal right with a rich
man to spend as much as he pleases,
provided he is selfish enough to de-
prive his family to that extent, yet this
would be no proof whatever that he
could afford to do this.
This is an argument for your own
! interest and that of your family. 1t
infringes in no sense upon your rights
in any way and abridges your liberty
only to the extent of whether or not,
all things considered, you can afford
to spend the amount you are spending
every week to crafty an appetite for
something you can do without, and
that is depriving your family of their
share of your earnings. Industrial

FRENCH MILLINERY.
Winter Hats and Bonnets Sent Over from
Partisan AteIers.

Partisan Ateliers.
French round hats are dressy, and
with small pointed pokes will be worn
by young ladies IN preference to bon
nets. The Boulanger, with its brim
rolled up high on each side in military
style, is the most masculine design
sent over by Paris milliners, and is
shown handsomely made of dark green
felt with widely bound edges, trimmed
along the top of the crown with green
MORE ribbon loops and green cocks
plumes. To match dressy costumes of
velvet, cloth or silk, young ladies will
wear round hats not unlike those of
last year, with soft half-high crowns
and velvet brims; the brim is made in
crescent-shape, higher in the back, and
much of the trimming is placed behind
and on top of the crown. The small
pointed poke, sometimes called the Boz
Peep, is really stringless bonnet and
will be worn again with soft crown of
embroidered cloth or velvet and beaded
brim, or else brim of gilt or silver
cord passementerie in open lace-like
pattern. Large and important-looking
hats of velvet and lace are also sent out
from Paris, some Of them with wide
brims irregularly rolled, and others
with broad poke front, as in the
Comtesse Sara hat, with most of the
trimming at the back of the crown, and
long ribbons hanging from the back,
which are brought forward and tied
under the chin. Such hats are made
of velvet, with many small ostrich tips
for trimming, and MORE strings. SIM
| liar pokes are fashionable for misses
and small girls, wide sash ribbons be-
ing used for erect loops up the back of
the crown. without other trimming I'M
less a very narrow fold or band of
velvet encircles the crown.
French bonnets remain very small,
and their trimming is broadened and
lowered, as viii be readily seen when
comparing them with the high slender
trimmings of last winters bonnets.
Felt and cloth bonnets for general
wear may be plain or with full soft
crowns, OF else they are pinked on the
edges or there are rows of scalloped
| pinking forming the entire bonnet.
Embroidery, which is great feature
OF millinery at present, is applied both
to felt and cloth, sometimes in narrow
scalloped rows which alternate with
velvet folds or ribbons on the whole
bonnet, or else merely the crown is en-
broidered, with plain velvet brim, or
on the contrary, the embroidery forms
band for the front of
an otherwise plain velvet bonnet.
A large bow with cross loops in Alsac-
ian style, yet much fuller than the fat
Topped bow of Alsace, is seen on small
bonnets, and also on round hats. The
fronts of bennets are most varied,
some having merely cord of velvet
along the edge, with folds behind it,
while others are coronets covered with
beads, and still others have pinked
frills of silk, or small face trimming
of coquettish ribbon bows just over the
middle of the forehead. Wider ribbons
are used for bows, and also for strings,
but the short narrow velvet strings and
slender velvet bow at the throat are by
no means abandoned, especially with
felth and cloth bonnets that are worn
with tailor gowns. Hcrper's Bazar.

A SUCCESSFUL SCHEME.


A Boycott Which Caught the Boys and
Drove Them Into the Temperance
Ranks.
We have before had occasion to re-
mark that Irish women never do any
thing by halves. A fine illustration of
this, in the comparatively new field of
Temperance work, is set forth in a let
ter to the Philadelphia Times from
Wiikesbarre, Pa, which says:
"The progress of Temperance prin-
ciples among the young Irish-Ameri-
cans of the coal region within the last
ten years is simply without a parallel
in the history of Temperance reform.
In fact, the Temperance feeling is now
so strong that no young man can enter
the charming circle of female society
unless he is an avowed Temperance
man and wears the Father Mathew
badge. 1t has now come to such pass
that the young Irish-American ladies
will have nothing to do with the man
who drinks. BY raising this boycott
against the boys the girls have played
the part of true Temperance mission
aries, in that they succeeded in driving
the young men into the societies. An
illustration of this was seen in the
town of Beaver Meadow last. spring,
when all the girls in tho place COM
bined and resolved that they would not
accept the attention of any young man
until he had first signed the pledge
and Joined the St. Aloysius Society.
For while it was thought the young
ladies were not in earnest, and that
the boycott would soon be lifted. But
the young ladies were determined, and
when the young fellows found this out
they surrendered, and forthwith there
was rush for admission into the local
Temperance Society. The latter is
now in very fiourishing condition. "

Especial New York Correspondence
Importers who remained late in Paris in
search of the latest autumn and early win
ter novelties have returned to their native
shores, bringing with them many new sug-
gestions in wool dresses of tailor cut. for
the promenade, in corded silk and velvet
for visiting and carriage costumes, and in
striped Marie Antoinette brocades and
fancy velyets and pushes for evening
toilets Few contrasts in color, and the use
of fine pilot cloth and other faced woods,

The day before the woodworking,
Jack had spent at the ''still-house," a
few miles down the creek. AS the re-
suit of his spree, he was not IN a condi-
ton for even such light physical exer-
ton, as was required in working the
road.
When Jim Ganey mounted his horse
that morning to go to Hardness place,
he was fully aware of the reason for
the latter's absence the day before.
While on his way, the road overseer
mentally prepared several moral lee
lures, which he intended to deliver in
a paternal way to the delinquent.
Ganey appreciated the Importance OF
his GRAND, but when he rode down the
steep hill, approaching Hardness cabin,
| his ideas were not so clear as when he
left home, and when he called .'Hello!'
| he was at an utter loss as to what to
say.

Suspected of burglary.

About o'clock yesterday morning Win.
]. Davis was aroused from his slumbers
by the sound of some one breathing hard,
as it seemed to him. When he stirred, the
aforesaid some one stirred also, and con-
cealed himself behind the bed. CHANGING
down that way, Mr.. Davis saw a pair OF
red stockings sticking out, and inquired
who was there, inclining to the belief that
it might be child from an adjoining apart
ment. Receiving no response, he proceeded
to get up, when man sprang from his
concealment, rushed out of the room, down
the stairs and escaped. As he ran it was
seen that he was in his stocking feet and
had red silk handkerchief tied about his
face as a disguise When he went down
the stairs Mr.. Davis had good look at the
side of his face. During the forenoon the
matter was reported to the police, and Off
Ger Sullivan concluded that the description
fitted Mike Bennett, an ex- convict who is
in the city. He hunted him up, and Mr..
Davis was summoned to see him at the
station house, and identified him as the
burglar. His face was then muffied in a
red handkerchief, and the Identification
was rendered still more complete. He
denies the charge, and claims that he was
in bed in his room at the hour the unsuc-
cessfnl burglary took place.

Mysterious Assassination.

Tuesday evening, about o'clock, the
! body of Frank Lewis, a Portuguese fisher
man, was found lying on the levee near the
Lisbon school house, Yolo county, oppo-
site Freeport, and but few hundred yards
| from his residence. An examination re-
vealed the fact that he had been laid in
wait for by some one, who fired at him
| with a shotgun from behind a tree, the
greater portion of the charge of shot strik-
| ing him in the forehead in such cluster
that large hole was made, through which
the brain exuded. A messenger was dis
patched to Washington for Justice of the
Peace to act as Coroner, and Justice Bright
went down and held an inquest yesterday
morning, the jury returning a verdict of
death from gunshot wound inflicted by a
party or parties unknown. The remains
were brought to w. ]. Kavanaugh's under
taking-rooms in this city. Lewis has been
living on the river for several wears, en-
gagged in fishing, and has been on good
terms with his neighbors, generally speak
ing, though he is said to have had dis
agreement with two of them, relative TO a
fence, some time ago. and one of the two
was not to be found in the vicinity yester-
day morning, when it was desired to have
him serve on the Coroner's jury. Whoever
killed Lewis was evidently well acquainted
with his habits, and, knowing that he
would return home by a certain route, was
able to fire upon him before his victim had
any knowledge of his danger. Deceased
was about 50 years of age, and leaves a
wife and three children.
